the CITY’3 FOOD SUPPLY. Harlcet Produce Imnrovinc-Polntera 1 lor the Health Officials. Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens’ San j. r- Association reports the average a lity of food produce in the Savannah market for the week ending last night as follows: pressed beef and dressed mutton, average 0 d • also, dressed and liveDoultry, smoked £.ll age. meat puddings, pickled beef, nick 1 and tripe, tickled pigs’ feet, lish, crabi, shrimp and clams. Greon vegetables were abundant and excellent; also, tropical green inspector says that the domestic mutton hr uzht into the Savannah market donn T the past week was of such excellent ouaiit*' as to practically shut out western c- Id storige mutton, spring lambs in good condition,^from home pastures, being pur c' a-ed by such customers as preferred deli cacy of flavor to redun ,anco of fat. The inspector reports, in reference to fish, that on t-vo days during the week blac <- fiVb and snappers came up to the market y-esh and alive from smacks, which had come into Thunderbolt. The proximity of Savannah t > the blackflsh banks off Tybee and sapelo, and the snapper banks Fernandma, a run of only a few hours from Savannah, and the great abundance of fish reported on these banks suggest the inquiry why the Savannah market is not every summer sup plied with fish, brought alive in smack weils to Thunderbolt and delivered in the same condition every day during market hours. The inspector reports, in refere ica to other sanitary matters in tho city, that the citizens of S ivaunah would bo surprised if aware of the great number of closets and vaults without ventilators, and also the large number of vaults in a foul condition: he says that it is well that the city authori ties " are bestirring themselves in the matter of cleansing thorn. The large number of these places existing in violation of the ordinances, the" inspect. r says, evince culpable remissness on the part of the officials whose duty it was to gee after the manner in which they were constructed and kept. Ttie inspector reports, in reference to the areas of stores and cellars, that any 01 e need but glance through the gratings around the Gibbons block, on its Congress, St. Julian and Whitaker streets sides, to l.e awakened to the apprehension that the city is either without drdinances adequate to hygienic protection, or without officials who will enforce them. On Whitaker street, from Bryan to Bay lane, and on Bryan, and St. Julian and Congress above the market the filth accumulations present a foul aspect. At the southwest corner of Broughton and Montgomery street there are accumulatio s which Pave collected un til a number of orange trees of sjvoral years’ growth are sustained by them. THE RIVAS R AND HARBOR Happenings Along the Wharves and Among the Shipping. A lady and gentleman, while in the act of boarding a tug at the Central railroad wharves last night at 7 o’clock, fell over board, but were rescued by two gentlemen who witnessed the accident. Chr. G. Dahl & Cos. cleared yesterday the Italian bark Michelino for Genoa with 3,440 barrels of rosin, weighing 1,602,010 pounds, valued at 424 81, and 2,ooocases of spirits turpentine, measuring 20,000 gallons, valued at $7,000. Total valuation of cargo, $15,424 81. Cargo by Patersoa, Downing & Cos. T. H. Enright having purchase! the open yachts Sprite ami old Zi ga, has remodeled, and is now painting and rigging them up to enter the June regatta of the Savannah Yacht Club. The Sprite is to bo named the “Julia” and the other yacht the “May.” The Mario is in good trim for the race, and Cap:. B irnoy Mclntire, who built her at odd moments after his day’s work, thinks she is the fastest craft of her class in south ern waters. The tug Cambria has been libeled in the United States ciurt by the master of a Charleston schooner for a collision which took place some months ago, when the Cambria was towing another schooner to sea. The aincunt claimed for damages is sl,4oo,and Bryan & Bry in of Charleston and Garrard & Meldrmi are attorneys for the li bellants. Lester & Ravenel represent the Tow Boat Company. The schooner which the Cambria had in tow at the time of the col lision has also been libelled, but service will have to be had at Brunswick, where the ves sel is now. THE FISH SEASON OVER It was a Ebort One on Account of the Warm Weather. The fish season is about over. There will be no more business until about the middle of August, a dealer said yesterday. There w ill be some fish bought and sold, but the trade will not amount to much. The season has been short, not shorter than the season previous, but the increase in the trade which is shown every year w as not apparent last season. The shortness of the sea>on is attributod by dealers to the warm w iuter. In consequence of it the country orders were very short, and tho city orders were considerably less than they were the season previous. A warm winter is death to the fish trade. The season begins the middle of August and continues until April 15. The business is increasing every year and, it will be an immense business in a few years. The new railroads projected w.ll open new territ ry. Besides, the increased railroad facilities enables the dealers to supply a greater ter ritory. AT THE COURTS. Gossip Picisi Up Here and There In the Court Rooms. A damage suit was in progress in the • city court yesterday, and pending argu ment and upon tne request of counsel the case was continued until to-morrow. B. C. b right sues the Charleston and Savannah railway company for $325 damages, alleged to have been sustained by plain’iff by one of the defendant railway company’s trains running over three blooded cattle near the six-mile post. Two decrees of divorce were granted in the superior court yesterday. Henry Toehl, a subject of the German emperor, was admitted to citizenship in tho su; erior court yesterday. Judge Falligant, in view of the fact that the May term of the Liberty county superior court w ill begin to-morrow, ad journed the Chatham superior court here yesterday until next Saturday, upon which day the court will adjourn for the term. Fast Time. The managers of the route known as the Florida Dispatch” line, which means the several steamship lines between Savan nah and eastern ports and the Savannah, Tiorida and Western railroad, deserves much praise for the great dispatch they give to freight. The last performance, winch is hut a repetition of numbers of nke instances, was by the steamship Kansas Lity. The freight by this ship left New ioik Wednesday evening, and was ready *? r anchoring at Jacksonville at noon on Saturday. Tho actual time between New i nrk and Jacks >nvilio was seventy hours and ten minutes. The freight for Palatka ■cached there Saturday evening; for San rord at midnight, and but for Sunday iuter ' cuing that for Tauipa would have been deceived in less than live days from New 1 nrk. 1 This splendid service is not only south bound, but north as well. The Savannah, lornla and Western railroad runs special rains in connection with the ships from avannah, thus giving to the vegetable Si*n er l m Florida a,most equal advantages w 'tn other sections further north. hi? 2?'

The “Fourth” to be Celebrated by the Alliance and Clt zens Generally. The Effingham cou lty alliance has asked the citizens’ committee on the county din ner to meet them at Springfield on Friday next with the view of having a joint dinner and a general celebration of the Fourth of July. This proposition meets with favor, and it Is predicted that this year the people will witness tn old-time celebration of the once "glorious Fourth.” *ke confederate veterans are discussing the propo-ition of having, at a later period, au old-time Georgia barbecue, so as to bring the survivors and their families and friends together, and to have a barbecue each year tor a general re-union. The Methodist Sunday school celebration, which was held during the week, was quits a success, and reflected much credit on those who had the affair in charge. The re ports of the officers showed a marked im provement, which was of a most gratifying character, and proved that the senooi is fuily alive to the Suuday school cause. Effingham superior court is run on a very economical scale, a3 the session last week consumed but one day. It is argued that, while the business of the court may not be enough to continue the session longer, yet the grand jury cannot well meet at a Thto hour in tae day, organize an i give the proper attention to county affairs in one day. The question of applying to have the county transferred to one of the country judicial cir cuits. it is said, is being discussed, and the next representative in the legislature from Effingham will be asked t> look alter this matter. The Guyton correspondent of the Morning News says it has been hinted that if the court house is moved to ore if the railroad towns the session might be held long enough for the grand jury to give the necessary attention to county affairs. Editor James Dixon of the Talbottou New Eva. with bis wife, has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Rawls of Guyton. Dr. L. D. Struttou has left Guyton and opened a drug store at Pembroke, the thriving little town on the Savannah and Western road. Dr. J. B. Long of Athens, son of the celebrated l>r. C. W. Long, has taken the place vacated by Dr. Strutton. RAIL AND CROSSTIE. The early fast freight on the Central rail road ran over and killed a white man between Macon and Forsyth yesterday morning. The man was on "the tr, ck, it is supposed, and the crow on the freight did not see him. He was found by the early fast mail, which passed a few hours later. The engineer on the mail train stopped when he passe! the man. but upon examina tion it was found that he had been dead some time. The remains were taken to Atlanta, but were not identified. The corps of Central railroad dispatchers recently put on in the Savannah office handled the first trains on the Central and Savannah and Western railroads yesterday. Chief Dispatcher S. H. Hili is assisted by Dispatchers Vandiver and Davis. Tne former is from Macon and the iatter is from the north. The Savannah office will handle all trains from Savannah to Wadley and alt trains on the Savannah and Western. WHEN WOMAN IS SUPERBTXTIOUa A Few of the Way a in Which that Weakness Shows Itself. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. We were chatting away in the cosiest sort of a fashion when to my intense surprise my companion, a charmiug young woman of 20, gave a little start as if suddenly brought face to face with an unknown evii, and rising hastily from her seat deliberately made two complete revolutions, twenty pairs of eyes looking on in amazement at this erratic behavior. “Good gracious,” I gasped, ns she resumed her seat, “what is the matter?” “Why, just look across the way,” she whispered in a most mysterious manner, “and you will see a cross-eyed woman. Now, don’t you know,” continued the super stitious little soul, “that to meet a cross eyed mau or woman is sure to bring you the worst of ill luck unless you break the spell by turning around twice?’ Few people, I find, are superior to attacks of superstition in one form"or another, no matter how sensible they may be upon all other points. These strange fancies come from nobody knows where, and are too often indulged in to the discomfort of everybody concerned. A luncheon, which promised to be a most delightful affair, proved to be a miserable failure, simply because the evident distre s of the hostess at the breakage of the mirror threw out of tune the harmony of the entire party. Really, the poor woman was an object of sincere compassion, as see de clared with heartrending earnestness that she was iu for seven years of bad luck. Yon cannot get some women to under take anything new on Friday, and so it has g’ own to be for them a finishing up day of all the odds and ends of the week, whether iu a social or domestic se ise. I haVe a friend who would feel I am sure, were she to have the termeritv to b >ard a train upon this unlucky day, that she was going to her doom. Not long ago I offered ta help a sister in distress who had been suddenly and unex peciedly called from home, but the offer was made on the unlucky day of the week, and tuadame’s face was a study to behold as she exclaimed: “Cut out anew gown on Friday? Why, my dear friend, I should expect it to be surely ruined. Have never known it to fail.” she added in emphatic tones, and in a jiffy the goods was whipped out of sight. Sage receipts hang about love and matri mony that must, it seems, receive the serious attention of both sexes if they would not blast their hopes of happiness for good and all. Have you a delinquent sweet heart, one whose passion is on the wane? Then stick shining pins in a tallow candle, says the “kindly witch,” put it carefully away, and you will not have to wait long for your truant lover. But, my dear girls, take my advice and do not tempt fate by putting milk in your tea before sugar. To do anything so rash is to lose our sweet heart for ever. Who among my fair readers has been guilty of the crime of flirting and is haunted w ith the miserable fear that at an inoppor tune moment a revengeful spirit may ap pear upon the scene and upset all her nicest calculations? Here comes a compassionate friend who pities her distress, and suggests that she drdp a silver dime in her left shoe and let it stay there until the nuptial knot is tied. The girl who catches the bouquet that falls from the hand of the bride as she as cends the stairs to don her traveling gown is the next whom fate places on the matri monial list. In Baltimore at a recent wedding where I had the pleasure of being a guest, tho bride’s bouquet was composed of as many tiny bouquets as there were maid’s of honor. Each cunningly concealed a souve nir, and the maiden whose floral tribute held a ring was immediately congratulated and declared to be blesed beyond compare. A gold piece found in the heart of a rose signified that its gentle mistress was to be rich feyond her fondest dreams. As she was already heiress to a snug fortune, I could not see that she was very much af fected 1 y the news, but she was, evidently, in tho eyes of the damsel who secured the silver thimble that consigns the owner to a life of single blessedness, an object to ex cite tho keenest envy. Up in the dainty dressing room ol’ the bride the elaborate ceremony of bestowing upon the first maid i t waiting the mystic garter that bad sustained the silken hose of the bride during the important occasion is carried on amid rippling laughter and a chatter of girlish voices that sounded like a flock of magpies. The bride makes the im portant transfer, whisp ring, as she clasps the golden-hued circlet above the knee of her nearest and dearest friend, all sorts of prophetic promises. It is from this custom that we find the yellow garter gracing the toilet of half the women in the country. In Chicago a lot of THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 18, 1890—TWELVE PAGES. merry maidens have formed a club an! call it the “J. J’s.” The young men are puzzling tbeir brains in vain effets to un ravel the myst -l ions problem. Now if you are clever enough to look in your French dictionary you wili find that the shy creat ures have adopted jaune for ye.low, and arretiere for garter—hence the mystery. Emeralds denote separation, while opals and pearls are stonos that even the bravest hearted maiden shrinks from accepting as an emblem of a plighted troth, and an old English superstition iusists that a broken engagement is sure (o punish the lover who bestows upon his fiancee the unlucky gift of a prayer book. Many a blithesome courtship has been, rudely nipped in the bud, says an authority, by indifference to these garnered of lore. Take a peep within the charmed precincts of a modern tea-drinking and you will find the stablest matrons as well as frivolous maids peering anxiously down into the fragile china cups, industriously studying their fate in the tiny graiusof tea that have collected upon the dainty surface. I meet with many women who refuse to look at the cards until they ar- all dealt. We have adopted the Scotchman’s belief in the magical effect of the agate, and many Americans carry one of these stones con stantly about their person, while we are indebted to the Japanese for our settled faith in the chrysanthemum ns a flower of good fortune. But of all the ancient bits of lore that have been handed down to us by our grand mothers the one which not long ago put the whole country on tho qui vive, for a whits horse has died a natural death. Small wonder, for even tho most ardent devotee to superstition has been brought to admit, that tne supply is not equal to the demand, the red-headed whim of the hour having so completely inundated the country as to entirely overshadow the fascinating theory of the white horse. AN APPEAL FOR A BANJO. A Girl Having Written in Vain to the President Turns to Secretary Tracy. From the Washington Star. Cabinet officers get some queer letters at times, but it is to be doubted whether any one ever received an odder piece of corre spondence than one which came to the navy department this morning addressed to Sec retary Tracy. It was from a young 'roman living in a town in One of the western states. She wrote in a crabbed, school girl hand, and had tied two bunches of worstedstied to the purer, one of red, white, ad blue, and the other of black and white. Tho letter was as follows: Hon. Benjamin F. Tracy: Dkah Fill end— ln the first of my letter I must say. On the 17th of December I wrot a letter to President Harrison but 1 must sav 1 did *not get no answ-r to it nor what I asked" from him It was only a banjo. And I told him that I would be expecting it in two * weeks. [The star is evidently inserted for the purpose of empha sis.] and I went th-ee times and was dislpointed bo I got mad. my Papa and an other man had a bet made when I sent the letter my Pa: a bat ten Dollars that be would send the banjo and the other man bet twenty-five Dollars that he would only laugh at it and I guess he did so my Papa lost ids ten Do but if you be kind enough and please send me one if you please and I would be very glad the man that my Papa had the bet with w*as a Dem ocrat—me not lam only ten years old. [Now in red ink ] I hope you will not forget to send mo a banjo it will not cost much I will be ex pecting it and a answer to my letter as soon as you can tell President Harrison that I am very angry with him let him see this letter But dont forget my in all your w ork my Banjo, this is all at present answer soon red and black get a banjo back when you write this is my address.” Then iollow the name and address, accom panied by the request “please excuse my writing” and the fol.o wing postscript in mingled red and black inks: “Perhaps you will be Presi dent next I suppose iny Gramer was not good aenought for Presidant out I hope you will not think so dond forget my banjo I will go to every Sunday dond forget dont forget if you send it I hope you will eutar heaven.” Tho secretary has not had time to repjv.
